Our Royal Heather Guests.
From Judge.


Prince Krapotaken from Hindostan,
With complexion of orange aud yellow,
And Prince Babbu from TimbuetoO,
Who is tanned as black as Othello;
And the Arab sbeik with his leAthery cheek,
And the Princess Of Kandahar,
And Kings by dozens, with all OF their cousins
From BOrioboola-Gha;
And the King of Guinea, who at home plays
shiny
With missionaries' bones.
And the chief of the Giaours, who each morn
devours
A baby, regardless of groans;
And the Queen Of the Mingoes, who eats with
her fingers
And drinks soup out OF q pan
All these are the creatures regarded as features
On the modern society plan.
Be they brown, or magenta, or red, they can
enter
Our prim social ranks just the same;
Though they eat with a single they freely
comusiugle
With our people of fashion and fame.
With high royal poses with rings in their noses,
They fiaunt at receptions and tetes.
And give us the fdgets when with their ten
digits
They shovel their food from their plates.
We can't be disloysl to men who are royal,
Wemnst flatter and honor a king;
But were these royal caitiffs American natives,
We'd send them all off to Sing Sing.

THE POETS COLUMN.
How Easy It Is.


How easy II is to spoil a day.
The thoughtless words of cherished friends,
The selfish act OF a child Of play.
The strength OF will that will not bend,
TIE slight of a comrade, the scorn OF foe,
The smile that is full of bitter things
They ell can tarnish its golden glow
And take the grace from its Slry wings.
How easy IL is to spoil dav
ny the force of thought we did not check,
Little by little we mould the clay,
Ana little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless wsste of a white-winged hour.
That held the blessing we long had sought,
The sudden loss of wealth or power
And lol the day is with III inwrOught.
How easy Ii is to spoil q lie
And many are spoiled ere we'll begun
In some life dBTkened by sin and strife,
Or DOWNWARD course Of cherished one
By toll that rObs the form OF its grace
Ard undermines tall health gives way;
BY the peevish temper, the frogning face
The hopes that go aud cares that say.
A day is too long to be spent in vain.
Some good should come as the hours go by
Some tangled maze may be made more plain,
Some lowered glance may be raised on high,
And life is too short 10 spoil Ike this,
If only a prelude it may be sweet:
Let us bind together its thread OF bliss
And nourish the flowers around cur feet.

And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost

They killed him and they ate him.
They said they found him good:

And now they understood

They said while they depl0red him
They'd loved him, live and raw,
